As of October 28, 2026, the United States has spent over $47 billion on the war with Iran, which is 25% higher than previous Pentagon estimates released in July this year.
Main Expenditure Items
According to data published by Reuters, the main expenditures include:
- Over $29 billion for replenishing used ammunition stocks;
- More than $6 billion for replacing lost military equipment, including aircraft and drones.
Costs for Military Base Restoration
It is important to note that these calculations do not include the costs for restoring American military bases that were damaged due to Iranian actions. These expenses could significantly increase the total expenditure on the conflict.
